We put a spherical bearing on the frame side of the control arm to make sure the twisting loads that the arm will normally would have doesn’t put the load on the bracket that comes off the frame. The bearing allows it to pivot without any resistance to keep the load off the frame mount. The spherical bearing does not require lubrication, it has a Teflon inner liner, and won’t have any noice.
This lower control arm design performs flawlessly. The maintenance is low and the bushings are quiet. The rear end is stable, especially around corners. The arm allows the rear end to pivot without bind due to the bearing being installed on the frame side.
Del-A-Lum bushings provide lateral control. This feature will make the car track straighter during a drag launch plus increased lateral cornering ability is achieved. The Del-A-Lum bushings have a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser.
Consequences: On uni-body cars only, road noise maybe heard a little more. We do not recommend using a Panhard rod with this application. Bind will occur if used.
